Cookie Policy

We (Conrad Energy Limited) use cookies on our website (www.conradenergy.co.uk). This policy explains what cookies are and how we use them. Options regarding controlling cookies are available at the bottom of the policy. Please note that we may collect personal data through our use of cookies, and such personal data will be handled as per our privacy policy, which can be found here.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small files, containing a short string of numbers and letters, that are placed automatically by a website into the cookie folder of your browser or the hard drive of your computer or device. The cookies that we could use can be split into the following categories:

  • Functional – these cookies are required for our website to work.
  • Statistics – these cookies are used to track the use and performance of our website. For example, they enable us to identify how many times our website is visited and how long each visit lasts.
  • Marketing cookies – these cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant to you and to your interests. In addition, they are used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement. They are usually placed on the website by advertising networks with the website operator’s permission. These cookies remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organisations such as advertisers. Often targeting or advertising cookies will be linked to site functionality provided by the other organisation. For example, this helps us track the advertisements you have seen, how many times you have seen them and whether you clicked on such advertisements.
